In the 21st century, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is a basic need for students to learn. Technology blind is not acceptable, as most fields require technology. Inputing technology into education so students can have earlier exposure and competence in using them. At the same time, students can find the class more interactive, effective and personalise.
Students are asked to research the word that starts with phonic 's'. Then, they will form a short passage with their chosen words and input their passage in POE to generate a tailor-made picture. In the next class, they will present their generated picture and the 's' word they have used to describe the image. A lot of interesting pictures are given.
Students learn attitudes such as patience as AI needs a lot of tests, prompts and references to make a picture that matches the descriptions. Students made a lot of ridiculous images at first, and it took some time to fix them. The attached photos are some of the samples that failed during the trials.

It is good to incorporate the activity with Nearpod. Students can experience a lot from 3D Moel, VR field, and PhET Simulator for different subjects. Instead of a boring presentation about the textbook, the teacher can guide the students to immerse in the scene. For example, the paragraph describes a place where only a thousand people live, Alaska. Teachers may bring the students to explore the place and understand why the place is unattractive for inhabitation.
Input VR to immerse into the scenario
Learning can be fun when everyone can interact and show their opinion on the case. Nearpod allows students to draw out their ideas, write their opinions in the forum and play games to test their knowledge. Learners can deepen their understanding of the subject matter by engaging in discussions and sharing diverse perspectives. At the same time, it fosters a collaborative environment where students feel empowered to express their thoughts and develop their critical thinking.
When the students pass up one assignment, the teacher has to correct at least thirty of them. It takes a long enough time for the student to forget what they do and their logic chain through the process. Therefore, it is amazing that online platforms allow teachers to have instant reports of class results and show specific questions that the students got wrong. This is more efficient for the teacher to check their understanding and reinforce the difficult part.
